South Africa’s Ronald Draper is the new oldest living Test cricketer.
The 94-year-old Draper played two Tests in 1950. Both were against Australia.
He made a century on first-class debut for Eastern Province in 1945 – and also represented Griqualand West.

Draper succeeds Watkins
Draper became the oldest living cricketer earlier this week, when fellow South African John Watkins passed away at the age of 98 years old.
Watkins had played 15 Tests between 1949 and 1957.
“Do you want to know what my secret to living as long as I have? It’s laughter. You just can’t take things too seriously, that’s the real killer,” Watkins told ESPNcricinfo in 2017.
